Owners who choose the Altura 690fromFerretti Yachtstend to be family cruisers and hands‑on owner‑operators looking for genuine liveaboard flexibility. The boat’s large internal volume, aft‑focused layout, and light, open main salon with an aft galley make day‑to‑day life aboard practical. Layouts were offered in three or four cabins, including a full‑width master option, and the design encourages weekend leisure with a flybridge sunbed, cockpit dining, and a serving hatch that keeps the social flow between galley and cockpit easy.
Underway, the model delivers a responsive, high‑performance feel; test notes describe it roaring to life on the throttles, with top speeds near ~35 knots on MTU 8V 2000s. In confused seas and about a 4‑ft swell it holds up well, becoming noticeably smoother and quieter around 25 knots once on plane with minimal roll. Owners and forum threads note that fitting a gyro stabilizer can further improve comfort during longer stays, though early discussions debated availability and effectiveness on smaller lengths.
The ownership picture is balanced by a few practical cautions. Engine‑room access is via a cockpit hatch, and while the space is compact, service points are reachable. The conventional shafts run through ZF V‑drive gearboxes that a test reported would whine intermittently, so a careful transmission survey and oil history review are sensible. Common MTU 8V 2000 specs (M84 standard/M94 option) mean higher parts and labor costs; verifying hours and service records is key. Forum users praised the sun/anchor role of the flybridge but called it cramped with limited protection at speed, and opinions on interior finish were mixed, including remarks that the teak veneer looked “very MFI.” Many listings also show hydraulic gear like a tender crane and swim platform, and some boats have benefitted from full‑time‑captain care.
